Arsenal have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Ivan Fresneda, with Real Valladolid's relegation from LaLiga set to halve his release clause.
The 18-year-old has impressed for Valladolid this season, making a total of 22 LaLiga appearances this season. His performances have attracted interest from several clubs, but Valladolid refused to sell him in January as they battled against relegation while Fresneda was keen to continue playing regular first-team football.
However, Valladolid could only manage a 0-0 draw against Getafe in their final game of the season meaning they were relegated by a solitary point as Almeria drew 3-3 with Espanyol.
